"For the first time since mid-February, there aren't any balls being hurled by promising aces, no homers hit by rookies hoping-and eventually making- the bigs. No press conference drama, no more in-game blow-ups or post-series news bombs. The 2025 Boston Red Sox season has officially come to an end. So how are we coping until next February? I mean the best thing about the Red Sox bowing out so early is the ability to watch postseason baseball unencumbered with expectations now, right?"
"Cal Raleigh-aka the Big Dumper-is bolstered by a great lineup, phenomenal pitching, and an awesome fanbase. Maybe you want the Mayor of Waltham to hoist the Commissioner's Trophy and see Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies to rule the winter. Then again, that means rooting for Dave Dombrowski, which comes with its own mixed feelings. OK how about the Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani? Oh, Mookie Betts. I mean they're the defending champs so it's less sour, but still."
The 2025 Boston Red Sox season ended early, leaving a void of regular-season games until next February. Fans can watch postseason baseball without Red Sox expectations influencing rooting interests. The Seattle Mariners present an appealing AL option with Cal Raleigh and strong pitching and fanbase. The Phillies, led by Kyle Schwarber, and the Dodgers with Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts are other prominent teams to consider. The Cubs and Brewers offer narrative intrigue for the NL. The Patriots look decent, with Drake Maye developing and the offense under Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels appearing to hum, though not yet Super Bowl-caliber.
